Heather says: This may come as a surprise to some, but your clothes dryer is not a magic box that dries your clothes with sunshine and warm, fuzzy thoughts. Well there are some warm fuzzies, but not of the rainbow and unicorn variety. For the most part, and this excludes the new dryers that steam …
Heather says: Yesterday on the Home-Ec 101 Facebook Fan Page I asked about baby teeth. Are they precious memorabilia or are they something that must be disposed of immediately? I don’t like teeth. I don’t know when I started getting skeeved out by them, but I am. I think it started in my teens when I …
How to shop from your refrigerator and pantry to prevent food waste and save money.
Heather says: I don’t often talk about my husband’s schedule. The internet at large has no need to know when he’s not going to be around, at least without some effort on their part. My theory is, if you’re going to be a stalker creepazoid, I’ll make you at least do a little homework, but …
Heather says: Sometimes the world is a very small place; this can be especially true on the web where the physical barriers of geography have been stripped away.

Buffalo chicken sandwiches are a sometimes food, meaning I don’t pretend they are healthy and I won’t make them often, but when I do? Hoo boy, I enjoy them. …

Heather says: It’s been a long week of laundry talk. I don’t mind, from my perspective I like researching and I like trying to turn what I find into somewhat entertaining, but still informative material. Just remember, if we ever meet in the future, I really, I mean really hate playing stain solver jeopardy. There are …
Hi Heather, Can you please post an article (or help me find it in your archives) about keeping that nasty linty space along the sides of the washer and dryer clean? Vacuuming with the extension works, sort of, but there’s always lint and stuff building up on the floor molding, and it just sticks there. My daughter and her …
